ALP 1 No dialogue with the computer
NOTESNone.
Try the diagnostic tool on another vehicle.
Check:
–the connection between the diagnostic tool and the diagnostic sensor (wiring in good condition),
–the connection between the vehicle's diagnostic sensor and the diagnostic socket (cable in good condition),
–the injection, engine and passenger compartment fuses.
Check for + 12 V battery on track 16, and + 12 V after ignition feed on track 1 and an earth on track 5 and 
on track 4 of the diagnostic socket.
Repair if necessary.
Disconnect the connector from the climate control computer in order to check the insulation, continuity and 
the absence of interference resistance of the following connections:
Climate control computer 12-track connector:
Track 11 + before ignition (see the vehicle wiring diagram)
Track 10 + accessories feed (see the vehicle wiring diagram)
Track   6  Earth
Track   7  Track   6 of the diagnostic socket (CAN H)
Track   1  Track 14 of the diagnostic socket (CAN L)
Repair if necessary (see the vehicle wiring diagram).
AFTER REPAIRPerform a complete check using the diagnostic tool.

ALP 3 Air flow fault
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check using the diagnostic 
tool.
Check that the customer knows how to work the air conditioning system properly.
Is the passenger compartment fan working?
YES
Check that the air circuit (cabin filter, scuttle panel grille, air ducts and ventilation grilles, etc.) is not blocked. 
Ensure that the blower blades are in good condition.
Repair, clean or change the cabin filter if necessary.
With the cabin filter removed, put your 
hand into the housing to ensure that the 
evaporator is not obstructed and that 
there is no ice.
Is the evaporator obstructed?
NO
Ensure that the blower unit is properly sealed. Also check that the air distribution ducts (right-hand and left-hand, 
upper and lower) are correctly connected to the housing as well as the refrigeration pipe in the glove box (if the 
customer complains about a feeling of cold air on the passenger's side).
Repair if necessary.
Check that the air recirculation flap does not remain closed when in the recirculation position. On the diagnostic 
tool, status ET062 "Recirculation flap position" should display OPEN (the flap can be seen by removing the 
windscreen frame).
Repair if necessary (apply the fault finding procedure for fault DF021 Recirculation motor circuit).
Does the fault disappear when the air distribution is 
changed?
NO
NO
YES
YESRepair, see ALP 5
Remove the evaporator and clean if it is obstructed.
If there is ice on the evaporator, carry out a conformity 
check of the temperature sensors (internal, external 
and engine coolant temperatures). Depending on 
vehicle equipment, check that the interior air 
temperature sensor micro-turbine is working correctly 
(if it is faulty it may cause the measurement to be 
incorrect).
Replace any faulty components.
Ensure that all the air vents 
are open.
If the fault is still present, 
see ALP 2.
AFTER REPAIRPerform a complete check using the diagnostic tool.

Is it an air flow fault?
NO
Is it a heater performance fault?
NO
Check that the air recirculation flap does not remain closed when in the recirculation position. On the diagnostic 
tool, status ET062 "Recirculation flap position" should display OPEN (the flap can be seen by removing the 
windscreen frame).
Repair if necessary (apply the fault finding procedure for fault DF021 Recirculation motor circuit).

ALP 11 Unpleasant odours in the passenger compartment
NOTESOnly consult this customer complaint after a complete check using the 
diagnostic tool.
Check that the cabin filter is not blocked or damaged.
Replace it if necessary.
Is the fault still present?
YES
Check that the condensation drain ring (water from the 
evaporator) is not obstructed (under the body).
Repair if necessary.
Is the fault still present?
YES
Check the sealing of the heating unit in relation to the engine 
compartment:
–Foam seal on the heater matrix coolant pipes fitted and in 
good condition.
–Rubber seal on the radiator tank fitted and in good condition 
(seal under the bonnet separating the engine compartment 
from the windscreen aperture).
–Drain valve on the radiator tank fitted and in good condition.
Repair if necessary.
Is the fault still present?
YES
Remove the cabin filter to apply air conditioning system 
cleaner using an extension pipe on the evaporator.
Spray the entire contents of the aerosol.
Leave the product to work for 15 minutes.
NO

ALP 14 Air conditioning noises during operation
NOTESOnly deal with this customer complaint after a full check with the diagnostic tool 
(fault reading and configuration checks).
Check that the computers involved in the air conditioning function (Injection, Protection and
Switching Unit, UCH and Air conditioning control panel) are correctly configured.
Reconfigure if necessary (see 62A, Air conditioning, Configurations and Configuration reading).
Check that:
–the compressor fitted to the vehicle corresponds correctly to the engine (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air 
conditioning, Air conditioning: Parts and consumables for the repair). 
Replace the compressor if necessary (see MR 370, Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Compressor: Removal 
- Refitting).
–the compressor is correctly fixed (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Compressor: Removal - 
Refitting).
Check the condition of the compressor belt and check its tension. Replace the belt if necessary (see MR 370 
Mechanical, 11A, Top and front of engine, Accessories belt: Removal - Refitting).
Check that the intermediate pipes, condenser and dehydrator reservoir are correctly fitted. 
–Check the mountings and brackets of the components. 
–Check the contact between and proximity of the components. 
(see MR  370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning: List and location of components).
Check the correct operation of the cooling fan assembly or passenger compartment fan assembly and 
condenser:
–check the electrical supply of the fan using parameters ET007 High speed fan assembly control, AC009 Low 
speed fan assembly and AC010 High speed fan assembly (see 62A, Air conditioning, Conformity check, 
Cold loop sub-function). 
Check the quantity of refrigerant (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, Air conditioning: Parts 
and consumables for the repair).
If the quantity of refrigerant is:
–Greater than the manufacturer's information, recharge according to the manufacturer's values (see MR 370 
Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning: Draining - Filling).
–Less than the manufacturer's information, check for leaks (see MR 370 Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, 
Refrigerant circuit: Check).
If the fault is still present, replace the compressor (see MR 370, Mechanical, 62A, Air conditioning, 
Compressor: Removal - Refitting).
AFTER REPAIRPerform a complete check using the diagnostic tool.
